I once had an argument with some minion of the BBC who claimed that you had to have a modem to connect to the Internet. I pointed out that most people at that time on the Internet were on academic networks with no modems in site, and that only a tiny percentage of uses actually used a modem at home (which was true). The minion got all "high and mighty" and told me that telling people that they didn't need a modem to connect to the Internet would only confuse them.
